Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM.
I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I have read your query in detail. I understand your concern.
Antibiotics itself can cause loose stools.
The stool examination you have got done says 3-4 pus cells, that can be a sign of infection or can be due to contamination.
If still febrile, requires antibiotics for infection.
Also, she should take a Probiotic.
This is my best opinion for you based on available details. If you any have further query, please ask me.
Stay Healthy
